What are some sports that aren't in the Olympics (nor have ever been) that you think should be?
For me:
Disc Golf
Ultimate Frisbee
Beach Soccer
Pickleball
Darts
Lacrosse
Cricket

Fat British dudes playing darts would be awesome.
But really baseball.

American Ninja Warrior type event would be sick.
Trophy bass fishing. Honestly it would be fun if the target fish changed depending on the local fauna. For example, Largemouth Bass in the US but maybe Peacock Bass in South America or Pike in Paris.
Or Whales and Dolphin in Japan...

I agree on baseball, but I was focused more on sports that have never been and probably should be with their growing popularity.

I think Lacrosse is going to be in the Olympics in 2028. As for the rest, pickleball is a sure thing if it's current popularity keeps up. It's no less of a sport than badminton.
Not sure why cricket hasn't been included as it's one of the most popular world sports. I guess it's hard to squeeze a tournament into the Olympic time frame. Similar issue that Rugby Union (15s) has. Can only play every week or so due to recovery time in between matches so that's a 6 week tournament between pool play and knockout matches.

I enjoy playing pickleball but I can't help but think how lame it is as a competitive sport. I think Squash is in for 2028 and deservedly so. Requires much more skill and athleticism.

I would bet both are coming after LA.

Ultimate will be in at some point but probably in some weird format like 4x4 or 5x5 beach ultimate. Disc golf has an outside shot with the way it’s exploding in Europe.

Dodgeball would be the most watched event!

I’m 38, will be 42 for LA, and 100% will enter dodgeball.
